Mrs. Brown cornered her husband as
he glided into the house about 7:45 one
sabbath evening at the close of the
base ball contest, and after Iecturinp
him ON the error of his WAYS, proceeded
to narrate a little dream which she
claimed to have had, but which Brown
tells me is an old chestnut in a new
dress, and which he has had thrown at
MIN in all sorts of disguises ever since
his honeymoon.
II dreamed" said Mrs. Brown,
that you went out to the base bali
park one Sunday afternoon, and a
heavy, rain came up and you were
soaked to the skin and took a violent
cold, which passed into pneumonia,
and you died. And after little hesi-
tation you went sneaking up to Heaven
and tried to dodge in, but st. Peter
stopped you. $50, hoW said st. Peter,
your the man that put in the Lords
day going to base ball matches and
yelling like Comanche Indian. And
you expect us to let you in here among
the elect, do you?" Then you turned
away sad at heart, and prepared to
make provisions for other Quarters,
when st. Peter continued: However
there has been good little woman
down below praying hard for you, and
as it is written, the prayer of the
righteous availeth much', cher PRAYERS
have been answered and We will let
you in on probation"

Peter, who was busy explaining to some

judge at the early age of SO and sat upon the
bench three years. In 1888 he was the Re-
publican nominee for governor-o Ohio; but
that happened to be Democratic year, and
he was beaten by George Hoadly, the Demo-
cratic candidate. In 1885 he was renomi-
mated and elected by plurality of nearly
1900. He is now nominated for second

Mr.. Foraker was born in Rainsboro, O., in
July, 1946, and has been citizen of the state
since that time. Besides the public action
above mentioned he was also q delegate to the
Republican national convention of 1884, and

an unprecedented independence in
political feeling and action, the true
policy is to determine how to reach
those whose votes are not secured by a
regular party nomination. All the
talk about rebels is sign Of weakness,
because il shows q consciousness that
the party cannot depend upon the
manifest superiority ofits general pub
lie policy. In the same way platform
sneers at the failure Of the administra-
ton in regard to reform will not avail
to establish the Republican claim as
the reform party, because the Republi-
can exemption act in Massachusetts is
one of the most hostile blows yet dealt
at reform. A Republican President
undoubtedly recommended reform, but
it was deliberately abandoned by Re-
publican Congress. General Republi-
can acquiesencein In the original platform
was not unnatural, since so far as it
was enforced 1t tended to retain Re-
publican employees. But the present
control and tendency of the ,Republi-
can party do not promise any regard
whatever for reform; and the votes of
reformers, so far as they are determined
by this question alone, will be drawn
next year to the Republican side, if at
all, not by the fact that the party is a
reform party, but because the candi-
date, like the Democratic candidate in
1884, may be personally known as a
man of sincere convictions upon the
subject. Votes, indeed, are not de-
termined by platform professions, but
by the actual situation and by the
general spirit and course of parties. 1t
Is, however, possible to infer from a
platform something of the real con-
viction of party.

a" An exchange remarks that many prin-
. ers make the complaint that they cannot OBJ
tain fair price for work done by them. If
this is the case, whose fault is it? They are
not obliged to take work without profit and
if they can demonstrate to their customers
that good work cannot be done at low
price, they will then be able to get what it is
worth. Few business men are so unreason-
able as to ask to have work done at loss,
and whore there are such the printers are bet
ter off without their work. It is an estab-
lished fact that the printers who are making
a success all over the country are those who
aim to do good work, and who are not afraid
to ask fair profit on what they do. An in
telligent printer will be able to convince
any man of good sense that good work is
worth more than botch job.

The following resolution adopted by the
Ohio Republican State Convention is an in
suit % every laboring man in the country:
"The condition of the men who labor in
the north cannot be maintained or improved
so long as the men who labor in the south
are wrongfully deprived of the rights and
powers of American citizenship. Their
labor meets in close and immediate competi-
ton, and neither can be degraded without
striking at the prosperity and independence
of the other. Recognizing these plain
truths we demand free ballot and fair
count in all sections of our country"
The laboring men of this country have
the intelligence to comprehend their rights
and the manhood to maintain them, and all
this swash is an insult to the bone and sinew
